The Unification Pavilion, located in the Joint Security Area on the North side of the Military Demarcation Line, serves as a venue for peace talks between North and South Korea. The building is situated in the village of Panmunjom, which, before the Korean War, was a small settlement of householders.
The Pavilion, positioned 80 meters northwest of Phanmun Pavilion, is a two-story building covering 1,500 square meters. Constructed in 1969, it is equipped with closed-circuit television and microphones in the meeting rooms to allow real-time monitoring of the discussions in Pyongyang. Besides its primary role in diplomatic meetings, part of the building is also used as office space for North Korean military personnel.
On January 9, 2018, a meeting was held at the Peace House between Kwon Hyok Bong, director of the Arts and Performance Bureau in North Korea's Culture Ministry, and Hyon Song-wol, North Korea's deputy chief delegate, and their South Korean counterparts to discuss inter-Korean participation in the 2018 Winter Olympics. This meeting continued on January 15 at the Unification Pavilion. Additionally, the May 2018 inter-Korean summit took place there on May 26.
